"I gots no doubt to let the flow out my windpipe/I make you clap, clap your hands like Twin Hype." He/Him My Website: https://djregular.tech/ My Games: https://djregular.itch.io/ What's Good every Friday @ https://blog.djregular.tech/
Obviously the broader culture is not in a good place but it's heartening that television keeps returning to one of the eternal storytelling themes: Padma Lakshmi imperiously striding into the room and demanding that you make her a delicious treat.
Five more hours of Bandcamp Friday in Pacific Time. Two more in Eastern. Come peruse the digital shelves over on my blog, and along with that be sure to check out my Bonus Beats section, and a chance to get a copy of Armand Hammer & The Alchemist's MERCY on vinyl. Tap in.
Y'all keep me honest. I'm not allowed to play Slay The Spire 2 in early access until I beat the Heart with the Ironclad on my PC save. (I beat it with all the characters on console, then started over when I finally built my PC)
You know what time it is: Bandcamp Friday + What's Good
A whole lot of new music (@2mello.net, @duncecap.bsky.social & @samuraibanana.bsky.social, Fatboi Sharif & Child Actor, Flying Lotus, Teller Bank$) plus specials for Bandcamp Friday. Come through!

I think the only thing that's more frustrating than the state of journalism at present is the fact that people will hear that the story's shaky, that there's no real proper source, but still go with "Well it sound right, so I'ma believe it," because the vibes are right (read: rotten).
For your consideration: if you buy my music today, I'll have slightly more walking around money
Calling time on adding anything else to this week's What's Good so I can actually get it out in time for your Bandcamp Friday bidness, if that's how you use the blog. If you're subscribed it should hit your inboxes in a couple of hours. If you're not subscribed, check here, but subscribe too.
Real ones know.
Really dope posse cut just got excised from this week's What's Good thanks to an errant r-slur from the next to last MC on the track. So it goes.

Biscuit Bitch was the first place I stopped when I visited Seattle for the first time years ago, completely on a lark 'cause a location was close to where I was staying. Couldn't believe it was real, first for the name, then because they were some of the best biscuits I'd had outside of the south.
you don't have to read graphic descriptions of SA even if the rapist is running the country right now
you don't have to read or watch graphic depictions of bombing innocents even if it's happening right now
you can be angry about and take action against wrongs without exposing yourself to trauma
This sort of gesture, to release what many have wanted for decades and give all the proceeds to your late comrade's charity, that is friendship.

Looking to share more gnrlyhd music with you all very soon.
My personal "It Might Happen Today" is a bunch of people with money and influence who enabled the rise of GenAI to suddenly realize how many of their "genius" beneficiaries were inspired by a badly written Harry Potter fanfic from a forum cult leader.
If I could've changed anything about this letter when I wrote it, I would've figured out how to fit in an explanation for the "also, these tech-fascists think they're creating a god that will spare them for enabling it to exist" of it all.

pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the fuck we are from @iandunt.bsky.social: hardly anyone in the maintsream national conversation is prepared to state the basic reality, which is that the world is run by microdick clinically sub-cognitive narcisisst madmen who are going to get us all killed. instead, they project a sense of tactical and political meaning onto what is, basically, the bloodlust of a screaming child
here, i'll give it a shot. they are in fact not people with small dicks, cognitively disabled, mentally ill, or children. they are just bigoted and evil
it's that recurrent moment again where awful people are replaced by different awful people and yet I'm still sort of glad to see the original awful people gone
the devs on this web site are unable to refrain from insulting the gross freaks who use it, pure professionalism from the team responsible for such classics as "waffles!" & also 'head of T&S banning the user who caught them faving teen porn on main'
Oh, for sure, I don't think anybody's out here doing the Birdman handrub about it either. Mostly. There are degrees from 'I wanna incorporate and appreciate' to 'I'm going to be the ambassador of this art'.
This and Nate's response (I also considered Gorillaz to be Damon's UNKLE initially) has me considering a deep dive to figure if Albarn dodged the bullet many white rock musicians who cross genre get killed by, where it feels like they're looking to get absolution for western colonialism via music.
Rare vulnerable, semi-personal post: I've got a deep love for superhero stories, and a deep desire to tell my own. Anybody who's see my (for now stranded by being tied to an abandoned system) supers TTRPG knows so. But the past few years have really kicked my love and motivation in the teeth.
Your monthly reminder.

SCOOP: Proton Mail provided Swiss authorities with payment data that the FBI then used to determine who was allegedly behind an anonymous account affiliated with the Stop Cop City movement in Atlanta, according to a court record reviewed by 404 Media.
a big reason for rap’s lurch to the right is that podcasts like No Jumper are the only places actively covering new hip-hop
(shout out @passionweiss.bsky.social and @nobells.bsky.social tho)
I'm watching Unrivaled right now and...was Stewie rapping along Boosie's verse on "Wipe Me Down" when they were on the bench?
Just finished the Unrivaled final. Hate that it ended in a free throw, but it was a helluva game.
